The Vento360® is a commercial grade, long lasting, low maintenance wind turbine consisting of a proprietary alternator which is installed at the top of a metal mast when vertically installed. An ASA (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate) plastic vertical axis turbine is easily affixed over the alternator. The entire construction is extremely durable, yet in the event of extremely high forecasted wind, the lightweight turbines can easily be slid off the generator and removed from the roof by our local partner.
The Vento360 turbines can be installed vertically or horizontally, depending on the site requirements. When installed vertically, the turbine, consisting of a top and bottom horizontal disk and an S-shaped high-performance vertical blade, is about 33’ inches high and 30” wide and weighs less than 14 pounds for early start-up in light wind.
ASA plastic, used worldwide in Lego™ blocks and innumerable other outdoor products, is UV-protected, non-yellowing, highly moisture-resistant, and recyclable. We never put plastic in the ground. We recycle in-house used turbine parts into small pellets, which are extruded and used to produce new turbines using our additive manufacturing equipment.
Suppose the volume of turbines to be installed warrants it. In that case, we install a commercial grade 3D printer at the locale for the local production of the turbine parts, reducing our carbon footprint of otherwise having to ship completed parts.
A Vento360 produces 1,000 watts per hour in 24 mph (10.7 mph) of wind, equal to 8,760 KWh annually, eliminating about 2.2 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually. One hundred turbines would eliminate 220 metric tons yearly.
A 300-foot-long parapet could accommodate a row of 50 vertical Vento360 turbines spaced three feet apart and about 95 Vento360’s when installed horizontally.
